Gee- I wonder what party to blame for that?

That's certainly the spin Rush and Drudge are putting on it. It's complete garbage but I guess they will just keep throwing stuff at the wall and hope something sticks.

First, he's an alcoholic, then he's a victim of molestation, then he's gay, then, according to Fox, he's a democrat, then it's an evil democratic ploy, then it was just a prank, then he wasn't really underage. Not to mention, first Hastert remembers hearing about this, then he doesn't, then he does.

C'mon, you guys can't even get your story straight. The republicans own this problem and they can try to push it off on the dems but I don't think people are going to be so gullible this time. I could be wrong, of course.

Thank god y'all signed that "Contract with America" to bring ethics back to washington. With 4. soon to be 5 indicted representatives of your party, it's obviously going quite well.

Spin?

So, if it turns out the page (not another one- but the one everyone has been talking about-but nice try Alex)was 18 or over- we are supposed to call that spin?

Sorry- but it is the dems who are throwing shyt until something sticks. The party of "it's just sex, it's private" expects to destroy the republican party with this increasingly fabricated story about what else? Sex.

pathetic....but typical of a political party with NOTHING to offer.

The dem party doesn't know diddly about ethics-

It was definitely a timed October surprise. A blog is created out of whole cloth, posts a few plagiarized items, gets this material, posts it, spams all the news channels, and hasn't been updated since.

But then, there is nothing wrong with October surprises, really. That's the game they're all playing and there is a wonderful defense against them:

Don't do stupid ****ing ****!

That's the response to all the politicians who do some stupid ****, have it used against them to their opponents advantage and then tries to call shenanigans. I may not like the people who pulled the trigger but that doesn't get the politican off the hook.
